I've been out of the j-drama loop for a while, so I can honestly say that Kimi Wa Petto was a refreshing way to get back into j-dramas. I have yet to read the manga or watch the 2003 adaptation, so I can only review what I've seen. If the first episode is enough to pull you in, then prepare to binge watch the rest of the series. Kimi Wa Petto is filled with adorably cheesy moments as well as pleasantly steamy moments. It's an enjoyable series, but it's not 100% perfect. Especially when it comes to the pacing of the plot. If you're looking to watch something light with just the right amount of tension and romance, then I would definitely recommend Kimi Wa Petto. :)
